I was fortunate enough to attend the recent performance put on by the Chicago River North Dance Company for children.
It was fantastic!
I really enjoyed the performance the dancers were all tremendous athletes and the choreography was interesting and absorbing.
I would highly recommend this activity for families either living or visiting Aspen or the Roaring Fork Valley.

Home on the Range.
Hey all,
I recently had the good fortune to attend the Carbondale Rodeo. Apparently a top rodeo publication listed it in the top 10 small rodeos to visit. Although my rodeo experience is very limited I would agree.
We had a blast. The rodeo is well attended and much local color can be seen. Spending much of my time in Aspen the thing that I was most astonished by was the price. At $8 for adults and kids under 10 free a guy can take a family of 5 out on the town for $ 16!!! Throw in hot dogs at $ 1 apiece and you will have a blast for approximately $20, unheard of in the Aspen area.
The rodeo was very entertaining and if you and your kids have the endurance to go the distance it lasted over 3 hours. No sales of adult beverages however it appeared that there was not any regulations regarding bringing your own.

Many Agents sell Indexed Universal Life products to people who should not be in them for many of the wrong reasons. IUL’s are not a product that is suited to most individuals. Other agents arguing that this is a great product for the masses are giving bad advice, mutual funds most likely a better investment, insurance is not an ‘investment’. As a general rule Term Life Insurance is adequate from a pure protection standpoint for most individuals and any whole life or universal life product is inappropriate for those who do not meet one of the following criteria:
A. Subject to the Estate Tax, (soon to be a $ 1,000,000 Exemption with rates as high as 60%!)
B. In a high tax bracket.
C. Maxed out on other qualified contributions.
D. Closely held business owners wishing to discriminate or other business related situation ( Key Man, “Golden Handcuff” or Buy – Sell )
E. Some other unusual circumstance where whole life is suitable (there are several)
F. An individual that requires a guarantee and a product with a floor on it.
Indexed Universal Life products are tools and a tool needs to be suited to the job. That said, In my practice I use this particular tool frequently, but only in the above situations where its use is dictated. Leslie Scism of the Wall Street Journal is astute in pointing out that this is a great product for those who have maxed out other qualified contributions. Additionally the article points out that these products are capped. I am a fan of ING’s IUL which has no cap.
A great application for this product is a Restricted Employee Benefit plan. If a business owner wants to compensate one specific employee these can work exceptionally well as they have a “golden handcuff” component where the employee is contractually bound to stay with the company for some specified agreed upon period.
I personally have been asked to sell these Indexed Universal Life Insurance to individuals who had no IRA or 401k and have declined. Use the right tool for the job, ALWAYS put the client’s interest first.

I am thinking that we are going to see a good playoff season out of the Rockies. I am hoping that Jiminez gets the nod for starter in Aneheim at the All Star Game, he deserves it.
Watching the Padres game last night our offense is really clicking, the Grand Slam by Ian Stewart was AWESOME!

If you are in in the market be careful between now and August 13th.
I sense the potential for a precipitous drop in stocks during mid summer of 2010.
Also the Estate Tax will not be reformed, I guarantee it.
Might want to look into Fixed or Indexed Annutities.
Also my prediction is that Interest Rates will be over 10% in 2012. You heard it here first.
